  That’s how it should be. Tips supplement incomes so restaurant owners can pocket the profits that would have gone to paying their staff better. If all restaurants moved to this model, everyone would be a lot happier.

    I hate to defend small restaurant owners because so many of them are complete assholes but they are not exactly Scrooge McDucks dealing with Elon Musk levels of money. Elon Musk could cover the tips of everyone in America.

      I was going to say, most of what restaurant owners do is go broke. It’s a brutal industry.

        Most restaurants are chains and owned by a small handful of corporations and franchisees. Their shareholders make a lot of money.

    And it’s such a great restaurant and makes you feel like you’re helping hospitality be a great industry.

  What’s the restaurant called? The tipping in CA drives me nuts, it would be nice to have a simple option in Toronto to go for!

  Welcome to nearly every restaurant in Europe.

    Are you from Europe? This absolutely isn’t the UK, nor is it many of the countries I’ve visited here…

      I’ve lived for decades in several European countries, but not the UK. I’ve never paid a tip or been asked to pay a tip or felt like I had to pay a tip.

      May be different in the UK.

        Tipping has been implied pretty much anywhere I’ve eaten in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Greece.

      Tipping is totally optional in the UK in my experience. Cafes have a tip jar but it’s up to the customer whether they leave one or not. Same with bars/pubs.

        Well sure, no one tips in cafes or pubs, but it’s definitely expected in restaurants. Hell, we had the tip machines for contactless payment before the yanks did…
